      Waystone announces strategic partnership with Alger to expand services and grow AUM

      Waystone, a leading provider of specialist services to the global asset management industry, has today announced it is partnering with Alger, a US-based growth equity asset manager, to support them with third-party ManCo and supplementary services across the EEA.

      The partnership will add $600m to Waystone’s AUM which continues to demonstrate robust growth as demand for its services increases. Waystone has expanded into new international markets over recent years, widening its comprehensive product suite.

      Alger, a pioneer of actively managed equity investing, is on a similar growth trajectory with their most recent acquisition of Redwood Investments, a global growth equity manager with more than $1.6bn in AUM, announced in January this year.

      Denis Harty, Country Head Continental Europe said “The third-party fund management market continues to evolve, with a particular focus on the ability of a provider like Waystone to deliver services globally in all major markets. We offer our clients a wide range of services including ManCo, distribution support and administration solutions. The relationship with Alger is one of true partnership. It’s fostered from the executive level right through to the team members and analysts at both firms, including colleagues from New York, Dublin, Cashel and Luxembourg all supporting the client experience. We look forward to a long-lasting relationship with Alger as they continue to grow and expand their client base.”

      Hal Liebes, COO at Alger, commented “It is great to work with Waystone, a company that is, like us, focused on growth and ongoing improvement of service to clients. We see Waystone as a partner who can support us with all our asset servicing requirements which is exactly what we were looking for. A company that has the experience and capabilities to deliver a range of services globally, to help us scale, grow, and offer the best products and services to our clients.”
